Common name: Pipefish

Corythoichthys is a genus of pipefishes commonly found in coral reef environments. These slender, elongated fish are known for their cryptic coloration and patterns, which help them blend into their surroundings. They are peaceful and can be kept with other non-aggressive tank mates. In the wild, they form monogamous pairs and are often seen swimming in unison. Corythoichthys species feed on small crustaceans and require live food in captivity. They are fascinating for their unique breeding behavior, where males carry the fertilized eggs in a brood pouch until they hatch.
